Get to know the FX DRS Tactical setup—lightweight, customizable, and built for precision shooters in South Africa.
FX DRS Tactical: What Makes It Special
The FX DRS Tactical is turning heads. It blends AR-style aesthetics, modular design, and FX’s proven airgun tech. This build isn’t just for show—it’s built to perform with tactical features and custom options.
Front to Back: Key Add-ons
- Adjustable stock/back piece and cheek piece so you can dial in fit.
- 350–600 cc bottle options depending on build, keeping the rifle compact yet potent.
- Side dials/gauges for bottle pressure and regulator pressure. These allow fast monitoring in the field.
- Hammer adjuster (both macro & micro) for fine tuning trigger behavior.
Tactical Enhancements
- An M-lock shrouded rail allows mounting of lights, grips, accessories.
- Eagle Vision Infinity rings that are adjustable add flexibility.
- Accutech bipod plus an Eagle Vision silencer to finish off the platform—good for both appearance & performance.
- The scope used is a Helix Elements 4-16×44 FFP with enough zoom without bulk.
What Research Adds
From the official FX DRS Tactical spec sheets:
- Barrel lengths come in 500 mm, 600 mm, or 700 mm, letting shooters choose balance or range.
- FX offers different calibres: .177, .22, .25—each with appropriate magazine capacities (16, 14, 12 respectively).
- Over-barrel wrapped air cylinder (not an external bottle), giving the gun a sleeker profile.
- AMP MKII regulator for consistency. Trigger is two-stage adjustable. Safety is switch style.
Who is This Build For
This setup is ideal if you are:
- A tactical shooter who wants AR-style modularity.
- Someone who moves between roles: maybe close-range work, maybe long-distance. This build can adapt.
- A hunter who wants something lightweight and manoeuvrable, yet capable.
- A field target or PRS-style enthusiast, if you value handling and tuning ability.
It’s less optimal if you want ultra-long range out of the box or prefer traditional styles. But with the right barrel and setup, it can stretch far.
Spotlight: What Stands Out
- Over-barrel air cylinder design keeps weight distribution forward without a bulky tank under the barrel.
- AR-inspired components like rails, buffer tube accept-ability, and grip options. Great for modular customization.
- The ability to monitor both bottle and regulator pressure from side-mounted gauges—useful for consistent shooting.
- Clean trigger setup and lightweight scope option make this build nimble in movement and response.
Final Thoughts
The FX DRS Tactical build is a smart blend of form and function. It brings tactical styling without sacrificing FX Airguns’ reputation for precision. For shooters in South Africa looking for modularity, adjustability, and solid performance—this is one to consider.
